🌍 This #WorldFoodDay, let’s recognise the women who keep us fed.

Women perform 76% of unpaid care work – cooking, feeding, caring for families – that keeps the world fed.

Work that is invisible & undervalued.

It’s time to value #FoodWork, paid & unpaid.

✊ Food worker exploitation is not inevitable.

Our #FoodWork report sets out 5 priorities for change:

✊ Build worker power
⚖️ Secure decent work
🛂 Equal rights for migrant workers
🏢 Rein in corporate power
❤️ Value food work

4/4 But exploitation is not inevitable.

When food workers organize, they win better pay, safer workplaces & stronger rights.

Good food should never depend on poverty wages, unsafe work or invisible labour.

1/ Who are the workers behind the food on our plates? What is that work really like?

1.4 billion people work across food systems – the world’s largest workforce. Yet food systems exploit more workers than any other sector. #FoodWork

Our food systems cannot function without workers. So why are so many exploited?

Low pay. Unsafe work. Insecure jobs. Wage theft. Forced labour.

Our new #FoodWork report exposes the exploitation running through the global food chain, and how to end it.
